Welcome from Libby, John, Carter and Brownie
this technique works even better and SAFER if we have remote shutter release. hastily pressing the camera shutter while the car is moving may cause problems, costly problems at that..
how’s that thing called which he puts on the hood?
a tripod
fail
is dangerous to take a picture
i believe you may be right
Using the camera’s timer works in a pinch if you don’t have a remote shutter.
Would have liked to know your settings, but I love the creative brilliance of this. Thanks.
Except for the running alongside the camera; I suspect a novice might knock the camera off the hood. How about a longer self-timer…and press the shutter before the car begins to move?
If you press the shutter before the car moves you could cause camera shake and blur the whole picture – that’s why I used the self timer. I didn’t mention the settings because they’ll be different for you depending on light levels. Just use the smallest aperture and slowest ISO you can and combine that with ND filters to get a shutter speed of half second or more.
if you really want to get into it you could always have a remote…
Just curious, why’d you move it backwards?
@JJtheJaxartosaurus i think.. to make the background blur..
thats a brilliant idea mate!!!
Brilliant
@JJtheJaxartosaurus because then he could take the photography without having to hide and so that he could keep pushing the car, i agree on your idea i mean he could of used a tri pod which would stick to the bonnet and allow him to drive forwards.
hope that answered your Q.
sdasd
I am not impressed
@EphotozineJr Hmmm – I don’t agree – driving means engine, means a whole lot of vibration which would probably ruin the shot. I think that’s the reason he went the manual mode
Brilliant! But I do see allot of enthusiasts breaking their daddy’s camera

Genious
Noob shot
Please could you put some details. Settings you used for the cam.
Wow, that’s impressive. Very creative. And I’m glad you trust that tripod on that car because I wouldn’t.
genious!
